Depends a lot on whether you're a hoarder: someone who collects but cannot part company with things. I was devoted to three teddies as a small child and I still have them sitting on a chair in my living room, with some of my other half's. They're part of our family unit.
I find that I have to have a fairly callous, pragmatic frame of mind to effect the sort of life change that goes with getting rid of a bike. I did that once and only once but today I still wish I hadn't.

Sell it, go to CN and argue about whether power cranks and crank lengths are useful for cyclists. Should work a treat. Also buy some bananas or durians while you rat it.
crank length argument at 13 months and counting

fixed the poll so that it works.
to me, give the joy to another  Long as its someone who will love it
if i knew the other person would love it as much as me, maybe, but frankly i am not a trusting soul. it is the same reason i have a surfboard sitting on my balcony which has not been touched in 8 years

Oh and to sum up my opinion on the matter
I am still upset that i found out two weeks ago that my mum gave my old bike to my brother.
this is the bike i have not ridden for nearly 20 years, is on the other side of the world and that i have forced my poor parents to store in their garage for many years.
and it is not like they sold it they just let my brother use it
i have never sold a bike. i could not even bring myself to get rid of old wheels. i even have old tyres in my cupboard.
the bike i can understand, i worked two jobs for an entire long summer holiday between school and uni to buy that bike and loved it dearly. but the wheels, tyres, bolts, caps from inner tubes...that may just be cause i am crazy

A new Sunday, a new question. I sold a bike this week and thought of the relationship between bicycle and rider. Complex? Simple? You tell me. New poll reset to zero to reflect our thoughts on the relationships between man, woman, and machine. You will no doubt soon find a way to inject another image of a man's arse into the thread.

Maybe it's my European blood but I prefer wearing shoes over thongs. Only really wear them if walking a short distant and its too hot to go bare-footed, or at the beach.

hey now! BYOP
lol I have been reading this 'thong' thread and it is hilarious! I have missed a few days of posting and this is a doozy. 'Thongs' was used a bit when I was growing up in the midwest resort town where we had a lake....pretty much they are always called flipflops now everywhere I think ;D
and Dinzy I have seen those flippys with a bottle opener underneath...quite clever.
thongs (i refuse to call them flip flops so everyone will have to continue with their disturbing mental images) are pretty much essential footwear in sydney usually can spot a tourist from their sandals, trainers or god forbid, deck shoes i actually found a thong dispensing machine the other day. $20 and you get a pair of havaianas in the colour of your choice

Apologies pedaling squares for unintentionally dragging your thread into the gutter
Not at all... you may have just come up with the topic for the next poll. Sandals, undergarments, and innovative ways to open a beer. Generally it's flip-flops or sandals north of the 49th, they were called thongs years ago but that seems to have faded away.

It was said in jest. If his wife enjoys cycling then he's on to a winner.
I knew that  8)

A woman on a bike, yeah right! Next you'll be telling us they can drive cars! It's obvious she's having an affair divorce her ASAP!
